By 36, they've settled into their environment and have started to breed.

By 38, their population has increased 10000%.

By 39, they've exceeded the carrying capacity of the drawer in which they're stored.

By 40, there is widespread mortality.

By 41, severe and chronic cannibalism

And by 42, only five bloated and bloodstained hex keys remain.

You remain entirely unaware of this as you haven't needed hex key since your early thirties.

As part of buying new office chair, I also then had to assemble the chair, which was all well and good until it came to the included hex key - the black one. Like, what is the point of having a hex key with almost similar arm lengths? If I were assembling certain ikea furniture it may not have been as irritating but this chair specifically had hard to reach bolts (as shown in the other pic) that having a shorter arm would have solved! I ended up using my own set of keys to finish the job. Why bother including a hex key that couldn't be used to actually assemble the thing it's included with?

Not to mention that all the bolts were alongside a wall and so the longer arms of the hex key caused me to bolt it in at 180 degree turns but once I used my own key then the short arm didn't interfere.

Like, this key went so far into being frustrating and useless that it almost went directly into hilarity. I mean, I did end up laughing in a sort of disbelief at it. I'm guessing I would not have found it as amusing if I didn't have my own set of hex keys.
